The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I've always been sick of Israel manipulating America for its own ends.

I've always felt America was involved in more conflicts, thanks to Israel.


I've thought that we get too involved there because the Evangelicals want the Temple to be rebuilt and for that to lead to the end times. They are a huge voting block so they get catered to. So our foreign policy in this area has to deal with crazy fundamentalists having vision of the temple to be rebuilt to bring about the fulfillment of the end times, where we all are destroyed, go to hell, and they get raptured into heaven. And make no mistake, Trump catered to this - and they use King Cyrus in the bible.

"King Cyrus the Great is a prominent figure in the Bible for his role in ending the Babylonian captivity and allowing the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. The book of Isaiah even prophesied his actions, calling him God's "anointed" and "shepherd," which is significant because he was a pagan king. He conquered Babylon and implemented a policy of repatriation"

Trump is King Cyrus and when something happens to bring Israel closer to rebuilding the temple, they see the hand of God. When Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, they saw the had of God moving.

The *best* is the ones i've done for over 10 years now---on a forum for Muslim (sunni) diaspora in France and Germany. Once in awhile I post about how a teacher or nurse treated me or my Mother badly....and oh my God you should see the outrage.

You do not seem to be, but I have to ask, are you Muslim? Sunni? What language do you post in? Do you post as an American on theses site? How did you find the site?
